Larry's Wife Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Took Larry in for bloodwork this morning. He was so wobbly, the receptionist took one look at him and squeezed him in to see the doctor. The doctor took one look at him and scheduled him for an MRI. We left the office and went straight to the hospital. What should have taken us 15 minutes took us 3 hours. A blessing in disguise, I guess. This scan wasn't supposed to happen for another month, but I'd already begun thinking about it. Now, it will be what it will be. And Larry...well, he's not nearly as wobbly as he was this morning! Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillise Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 If there is anything to know about, I'd rather know it sooner than later. Hope everything is clean and it was just a case of the wobblies! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaminkw Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Lynn, Here's hoping for the best possible results for Larry. I agree it's better to find out what's going on if your intuition is telling you all may not be well. Here's hoping it something very manageable.

LovesLife Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Lynn - Larry is the second person this week that has had unexpected tests done and that has to send you for a loop when you haven't had time to mentally prepare for them. Thankfully though they were able to get him in for an MRI that quickly. Is there any chance his blood sugar was low and that is why he was wobbly? Just hoping that there are more benign reasons for his being wobbly. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for good results tomorrow. Take care, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Wife Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Yes, I'll let you all know as soon as I find out. He did have an ear plugged up with some excess wax, which we cleared today. So it's in the realm of possibility that his ear trouble was what was throwing off his balance. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry's Wife Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 We got the MRI report today. Larry has innumerable brain metastases and edema on the right side. He was so weak this morning that he didn't want to go see the doctor to ask some very important questions, nor is he interested in talking about the report and its ramifications with me. So, we still have our appointment for gemzar on Wed. the 25th, which includes a meeting with our doc. Meanwhile, we have doubled his decadron dose and added Antivert for his vertigo. He does seem to be a little more stable in his gait this evening. His appetite is still good, but he does seem to be a bit slow in understanding what we are saying. Anyway, we are praying that he will get stronger in the next few days so we can decide on a course of action for this turn of events. P.S. None of us (the girls and I ) are surprised by this news, but we're devastated all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaroleHammett Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Lynn. My heart goes out to you, Larry and your family. I know it will take time for this latest news to sink in--both for you and your daughters and for Larry, but in the meantime, one step at a time and hopefully the oncologists will come up with a workable plan for Larry.
